Madrid, June 2023
eProsima is happy to announce the release of micro-ROS Iron, the framework now allows for a seamless integration of microcontrollers into ROS 2 Iron Irwini.
This new version of micro-ROS, the framework that puts ROS 2 onto embedded and deep embedded robot components with extremely constrained computational resources and memory limitations, comes with important new features and improvements:
- Micro XRCE-DDS v2.4.0: the micro XRCE-DDS middleware has been upgraded to version 2.4.0, providing improved performance, stability, and support for DDS-based communication.
- New support for RT-Thread: we are excited to introduce support for RT-Thread, a popular open-source real-time operating system (RTOS).
- Upgraded Espressif ESP-IDF support to ESP-IDF v5.0: micro-ROS Iron brings an upgrade to the Espressif ESP-IDF support, now compatible with ESP-IDF v5.0. This allows developers to take advantage of the latest features and improvements offered by the ESP-IDF development framework for ESP32 microcontrollers, enabling seamless integration of micro-ROS in ESP32-based projects.
- Upgraded Zephyr support to Zephyr v2.7.0 and v3.1.0: We have also upgraded the Zephyr support to versions 2.7.0 and 3.1.0, enabling developers to harness the power of the scalable Zephyr real-time operating system.
- Upgraded micro-ROS for Arduino library: The micro-ROS for Arduino library has received significant updates, enhancing its functionality and compatibility with Arduino-compatible platforms.
- Deprecation of micro-ROS Galactic and Foxy: With the release of micro-ROS Iron, support for micro-ROS Galactic and Foxy versions has been deprecated as we encourage users to migrate to the latest Iron release and take advantage of the newest features and improvements.
And finally a huge amount of bug fixing that makes micro-ROS a ready-to-use solution for embedded ROS 2.
